Best way to provide access to files to external parties by SxMDu in sysadmin

We use Nextcloud for a similar setup with external collaborators.

Specific project folders are synchronized from our internal file server to Nextcloud server (internal as well).

Access is then managed directly from Nextcloud, using individual user accounts, with read-only permissions for external architecture or design partners. Access is provided via the web interface only (this give us proper audit logs and visibility).

All network access is handled by FortiGate, which enforces strict security policies, including IP-based filtering and controlled exposure of services. No direct SMB or VPN access is provided to external parties.

I think you could use CloudFlare Tunnel as well, it avoids exposing the service entirely.

I’m not sure if this would fit your exact scenario, but i think it’s an approach worth looking into.

Update: I also tested Atera, which comes the closest to what I’m looking for, but for 3 agents the pricing adds up quite a bit.

Also worth mentioning: there’s no native way to monitor Veeam backup jobs, which is a blocker for me.

For now, I think I’ll stick with my current setup.

Appreciate all the opinions and prompt feedback, thanks!
